Enjoy a Night at the Nantucket Christmas Stroll

Christmas time in Nantucket is a truly amazing season. Everyone is hustling and bustling about trying to find the perfect way to show their family how much they care about them. One way Nantucket likes to help its visitors and residents find the perfect gift for everyone is to keep their shops open a little longer, as well as have some amazing discounts and deals, and host the annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll. Everyone loves flocking to the island for the Nantucket Christmas Stroll for not only the perfect time to buy presents but also for the fun events during the weekend. While only the dates for this year’s Nantucket Christmas Stroll have been released, we at Chatham Gables Inn love attending this event every year and want to share with you some of the events in the past we have loved.

Be sure to do them quick! They usually have to be turned in by noon that next Monday and your team be in the drawing for a fantastic prize.
